MORTGAGE LOAN PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement (this "Agreement"), is dated and

effective as of December 18, 2003, between Commerzbank AG, New York Branch, a

company formed under the laws of the Federal Republic of Germany and licensed to

engage in the banking business under Article V of the Banking Law of the State

of New York, as seller (the "Mortgage Loan Seller"), and GMAC Commercial

Mortgage Securities, Inc., as purchaser (the "Purchaser").

The Mortgage Loan Seller desires to sell, assign, transfer and

otherwise convey to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser desires to purchase,

subject to the terms and conditions set forth below, Mortgage Loan Seller's A2

Note in the original principal amount of $37,500,000 (the "Mortgage Loan") which

represents a 19.94681% pari passu interest in the commercial mortgage loan

identified on the schedule annexed hereto as Exhibit A (the "Mortgage Loan

Schedule"). The Mortgage Loan is one of six pari passu notes secured by the

Mortgaged Property. Certain other multifamily and commercial mortgage loans (the

"Other Mortgage Loans") will be purchased by the Purchaser from (i) GMAC

Commercial Mortgage Corporation ("GMACCM"), pursuant to, and for the

consideration described in, the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, dated as of

18, 2003 (the "GMACCM Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement"), between the Purchaser

and GMACCM, (ii) German American Capital Corporation ("GACC"), pursuant to, and

for the consideration described in, the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement, dated

as of 18, 2003 (the "GACC Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement"), between the

Purchaser and GACC, (iii) Morgan Stanley Mortgage Capital, Inc., pursuant to,

and for the consideration described in, the Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement,

dated as of 18, 2003 (the "MSMC Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement"), between the

Purchaser and MSMC and (iv) Goldman Sachs Mortgage Company ("GSMC"), pursuant

to, and for the consideration described in, the Mortgage Loan Purchase

Agreement, dated as of 18, 2003, (the "GSMC Mortgage Loan Purchase Agreement"),

between the Purchaser and GSMC. The Mortgage Seller, GMACCM, GACC, MSMC and GSMC

are collectively referred to as the "Mortgage Loan Sellers."

It is expected that the Mortgage Loan will be transferred,

together with the Other Mortgage Loans to a trust fund (the "Trust Fund") to be

formed by the Purchaser, beneficial ownership of which will be evidenced by a

series of mortgage pass-through certificates (the "Certificates"). Certain

classes of the Certificates will be rated by Moody's Investors Service, Inc.,

Standard & Poor's Ratings Services, a division of The McGraw-Hill Companies,

Inc. and Fitch, Inc. (together, the "Rating Agencies"). Certain classes of the

Certificates (the "Registered Certificates") will be registered under the

Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"). The Trust Fund will

be created and the Certificates will be issued pursuant to a pooling and

servicing agreement to be dated as of December 1, 2003 (the "Pooling and

Servicing Agreement"), among the Purchaser, as depositor, GMAC Commercial

Mortgage Corporation, as master servicer (in such capacity, the "Master

Servicer") and serviced companion loan paying agent, Lennar Partners, Inc., as

special servicer of the Mortgage Loans (other than the AFR/Bank of America

Portfolio Loan) and the Other Mortgage Loans (in such capacity, as applicable,

the "Special Servicer"), Midland Loan Services, Inc., as special servicer of the

AFR/Bank of America Portfolio Whole Loan (the "AFR/Bank of America Special

Servicer"), LaSalle Bank

 

<PAGE>

 

National Association, as trustee (the "Trustee") and ABN AMRO Bank N.V., as

fiscal agent. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings

assigned to them in the Pooling and Servicing Agreement as in effect on the

Closing Date.

The Purchaser intends to sell the Class A-1, Class A-2, Class A-3,

Class A-4, Class B, Class C, Class D and Class E Certificates to Deutsche Bank

Securities Inc., Goldman, Sachs & Co. and Morgan Stanley & Co. Incorporated

(together, the "Underwriters"), pursuant to an underwriting agreement dated the

date hereof (the "Underwriting Agreement"). The Purchaser intends to sell the

Class S-AFR1, Class S-AFR2, Class S-AFR3 and Class S-AFR4 (collectively, the

"Class S-AFR Certificates") and the Class X-1, Class X-2, Class A-1A, Class F,

Class G, Class H, Class J, Class K, Class L, Class M, Class N, Class O and Class

P Certificates to Deutsche Bank Securities Inc., Goldman, Sachs & Co. and Morgan

Stanley & Co. Incorporated (in such capacity, each an "Initial Purchaser")

pursuant to a certificate purchase agreement, dated the date hereof (the

"Certificate Purchase Agreement"). The Purchaser intends to sell the Class R-I,

Class R-II and Class R-III Certificates to a Qualified Institutional Buyer (in

such capacity, an "Initial Purchaser"). The Class X-1, Class X-2, Class A-1A,

Class F, Class G, Class H, Class J, Class K, Class L, Class M, Class N, Class O,

Class P, Class S-AFR1, S-AFR2, S-AFR3, Class S-AFR4, Class R-I, Class R-II and

Class R-III Certificates are collectively referred to as the "Non-Registered

Certificates."

Now, therefore, in consideration of the premises and the mutual

agreements set forth herein, the parties agree as follows:

SECTION 1. Agreement to Purchase.

The Mortgage Loan Seller agrees to sell, assign, transfer and otherwise

convey to the Purchaser, and the Purchaser agrees to purchase, the Mortgage

Loan. The purchase and sale of the Mortgage Loan shall take place on December

18, 2003 or such other date as shall be mutually acceptable to the parties

hereto (the "Closing Date"). The "Cut-off Date" with respect to each Mortgage

Loan is the Due Date for such Mortgage Loan in December 2003. As of the close of

business on the Cut-off Date (which Cut-off Date may occur after the Closing

Date), the Mortgage Loan will have an aggregate principal balance (the

"Aggregate Cut-off Date Balance"), after application of all payments of

principal due thereon on or before such date, whether or not received, of

$37,368,703 subject to a variance of plus or minus 5%. The purchase price for

the Mortgage Loan shall be determined by the parties pursuant to an agreed upon

term sheet.

SECTION 2. Conveyance of the Mortgage Loan.

(a) Effective as of the Closing Date, subject only to receipt by the Mortgage

Loan Seller of the purchase price referred to in Section 1 hereof (exclusive of

any applicable holdback for transaction expenses), the Mortgage Loan Seller does

hereby sell, transfer, assign, set over and otherwise convey to the Purchaser,

without recourse, all the right, title and interest of the Mortgage Loan Seller

in and to the Mortgage Loan identified on the Mortgage Loan Schedule as of such

date, including all interest and principal received or receivable by the

Mortgage Loan Seller on or with respect to such Mortgage Loan after the Cut-off

Date, together with all of the Mortgage Loan Seller's right, title and interest

in and to the proceeds of any related title, hazard,

<PAGE>

 

or other insurance policies and any escrow, reserve or other comparable accounts

related to the Mortgage Loan. The Purchaser shall be entitled to (and, to the

extent received by or on behalf of the Mortgage Loan Seller, the Mortgage Loan

Seller shall deliver or cause to be delivered to or at the direction of the

Purchaser) all scheduled payments of principal and interest due on the Mortgage

Loan after the Cut-off Date, and all other recoveries of principal and interest

collected thereon after such Cut-off Date. All scheduled payments of principal

and interest due thereon on or before the Cut-off Date for the Mortgage Loan and

collected after the Cut-off Date shall belong to the Mortgage Loan Seller.

(b) In connection with the Mortgage Loan Seller's assignment pursuant

to subsection (a) above, the Mortgage Loan Seller acknowledges that the

Depositor has directed the Mortgage Loan Seller, and the Mortgage Loan Seller

hereby agrees, to deliver the Mortgage File (as such term is defined in the

Pooling and Servicing Agreement) to the Trustee, and otherwise comply with the

requirements of Sections 2.01(b), 2.01(c) and 2.01(d) of the Pooling and

Servicing Agreement; provided that whenever the term Mortgage File is used to

refer to documents actually received by the Purchaser or the Trustee, such term

shall not be deemed to include such documents and instruments required to be

included therein unless they are actually so received; provided further that the

delivery of the Mortgage Files and/or Servicing Files related to the Mortgage

Loan by GSMC shall satisfy the Mortgage Loan Seller's obligation to deliver such

documents.

(c) The Mortgage Loan Seller's records will reflect the transfer of the

Mortgage Loan to the Purchaser as a sale.

SECTION 3. Examination of Mortgage Loan Files and Due Diligence Review.

The Mortgage Loan Seller shall reasonably cooperate with any

examination of the Mortgage Files and Servicing Files that may be undertaken by

or on behalf of the Purchaser. The fact that the Purchaser has conducted or has

failed to conduct any partial or complete examination of the Mortgage Files

and/or Servicing Files shall not affect the Purchaser's right to pursue any

remedy available in equity or at law for a breach of the Mortgage Loan Seller's

representations, warranties and covenants set forth in or contemplated by

Section 4.

SECTION 4. Representations, Warranties, and Covenants of the Mortgage

Loan Seller.

(a) The Mortgage Loan Seller hereby makes, as of the Closing Date (or

as of such other date specifically provided in the particular representation or

warranty), to and for the benefit of the Purchaser, and its successors and

assigns (including, without limitation, the Trustee and the holders of the

Certificates), each of the representations and warranties set forth in Exhibit B

with respect to the Mortgage Loan, with such changes or modifications as may be

permitted or required by the Rating Agencies.

(b) In addition, the Mortgage Loan Seller, as of the date hereof,

hereby represents and warrants to, and covenants with, the Purchaser that:

(i) The Mortgage Loan Seller is a company formed under the laws of

the Federal Republic of Germany, is licensed to engage in the banking

business under Article V of the Banking Law of the State of New York

with full power and authority to own its

<PAGE>

 

assets and conduct its business and is duly qualified as a foreign

organization in good standing in all jurisdictions in which the

ownership or lease of its property or the conduct of its business

requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so

qualified would not have a material adverse effect on it ability to

perform its obligations hereunder.

(ii) The execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Mortgage

Loan Seller, and the performance and compliance with the terms of this

Agreement by the Mortgage Loan Seller, will not violate the Mortgage

Loan Seller's organizational documents or constitute a default (or an

event which, with notice or lapse of time, or both, would constitute a

default) under, or result in the breach of, any material agreement or

other instrument to which it is a party or which is applicable to it or

any of its assets, in each case which materially and adversely affect

the ability of the Mortgage Loan Seller to carry out the transactions

contemplated by this Agreement.

(iii) The Mortgage Loan Seller has the full power and authority to

enter into and consummate all transactions contemplated by this

Agreement, has duly authorized the execution, delivery and performance

of this Agreement, and has duly executed and delivered this Agreement.

(iv) This Agreement, assuming due authorization, execution and

delivery by the Purchaser, constitutes a valid, legal and binding

obligation of the Mortgage Loan Seller, enforceable against the

Mortgage Loan Seller in accordance with the terms hereof, subject to

(A) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and

other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally,

(B) general principles of equity, regardless of whether such

enforcement is considered in a proceeding in equity or at law, and (C)

public policy considerations underlying the securities laws, to the

extent that such public policy considerations limit the enforceability

of the provisions of this Agreement that purport to provide

indemnification for securities laws liabilities.

(v) The Mortgage Loan Seller is not in violation of, and its

execution and delivery of this Agreement and its performance and

compliance with the terms of this Agreement will not constitute a

violation of, any law, any order or decree of any court or arbiter, or

any order, regulation or demand of any federal, state or local

governmental or regulatory authority, which violation, in the Mortgage

Loan Seller's good faith and reasonable judgment, is likely to affect

materially and adversely either the ability of the Mortgage Loan Seller

to perform its obligations under this Agreement or the financial

condition of the Mortgage Loan Seller.

(vi) No litigation is pending with regard to which Mortgage Loan

Seller has received service of process or, to the best of the Mortgage

Loan Seller's knowledge, threatened against the Mortgage Loan Seller

the outcome of which, in the Mortgage Loan Seller's good faith and

reasonable judgment, could reasonably be expected to prohibit the

Mortgage Loan Seller from entering into this Agreement or materially

and adversely affect the ability of the Mortgage Loan Seller to perform

its obligations under this Agreement.

(vii) The Mortgage Loan Seller has not dealt with any broker,

investment banker, agent or other person, other than the Purchaser, the

Underwriters, the Initial Purchasers and their respective affiliates,

that may be entitled to any commission or compensation in connection

with the sale of the Mortgage Loan or the consummation of any of the

other transactions contemplated hereby.

(viii) Neither the Mortgage Loan Seller nor anyone acting on its

behalf (except for GSMC and the Underwriters) has (A) offered, pledged,

sold, disposed of or otherwise transferred any Certificate, any

interest in any Certificate or any other similar security to any person

in any manner, (B) solicited any offer to buy or to accept a pledge,

disposition or other transfer of any Certificate, any interest in any

Certificate or any other similar security from any person in any

manner, (C) otherwise approached or negotiated with respect to any

Certificate, any interest in any Certificate, or any other similar

security with any person in any manner, (D) made any general

solicitation by means of general advertising or in any other manner

with respect to any Certificate, any interest in any Certificate or any

similar security, or (E) taken any other action, that (in the case of

any of the acts described in clauses (A) through (E) above) would

constitute or result in a violation of the Securities Act or any state

securities law relating to or in connection with the issuance of the

Certificates or require registration or qualification pursuant to the

Securities Act or any state securities law of any Certificate not

otherwise intended to be a Registered Certificate. In addition, the

Mortgage Loan Seller will not act, nor has it authorized or will it

authorize any person to act, in any manner set forth in the foregoing

sentence with respect to any of the Certificates or interests therein.

For purposes of this paragraph 4(b)(viii), the term "similar security"

or, upon issuance, that would have evidenced an interest in the

Mortgage Loan or the Other Mortgage Loans or a substantial number

thereof.

the diskette attached to the Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying

prospectus (the "Diskette"), is true and correct in all material

respects. Insofar as it relates to the Mortgage Loan Seller, the

Mortgage Loan and the Mortgaged Property related thereto and does not

Series 2003-C3 Transaction--The Mortgage Pool," "--Geographic

Concentrations of the Mortgaged Properties," "--Property Types,"

"--Prepayment or Call Protection Provided by the Mortgage Loans,"

"--Payment Terms of the Mortgage Loans," "Risk Factors" and

"Description of the Mortgage Pool" set forth on Annex A to the

Prospectus Supplement and (to the extent it contains information

consistent with that on such Annex A) set forth on the Diskette, does

not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or (in the case of

the Memorandum, when read together with the other information specified

therein as being available for review by investors) omit to state any

material fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the

circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

Act, the Exchange Act or other federal or state statutory law or regulation, at

common law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities

required to be filed as part of the Registration Statement pursuant to the

"Summary of Series 2003-C3 Transaction--The Mortgage Pool," "--Geographic

Concentrations of the Mortgaged Property," "--Property Types," "--Prepayment or

Call Protection Provided by the Mortgage Loan," "--Payment Terms of the Mortgage

Loan," "Risk Factors" and/or "Description of the Mortgage Pool" or contained on

Annex A to the Prospectus Supplement (exclusive of the Loan Detail), and such

statement, omission or alleged omission arises out of or is based upon a breach

this Section 9 shall not apply to the extent that such untrue statement of a

material fact or omission of a material fact necessary to make the statements

made, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading, was

made as a result of an error in the manipulation of, or calculations based upon,

the Loan Detail. This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability

which the Mortgage Loan Seller may otherwise have. Notwithstanding anything to

the contrary contained herein, the parties agree that the Mortgage Loan Seller

shall only be obligated to indemnify the Persons entitled to indemnification

pursuant to this Section 9 for a maximum of 50% of the indemnified liabilities

portion of the Water Tower Mortgage Loan being conveyed to the Trust with the

remaining 50% being conveyed to the Trust by GSMC. GSMC will execute and deliver

a separate mortgage loan purchase agreement with respect to, among other things,

its interest in the Water Tower Mortgage Loan that it is transferring to the

Trust. The failure of GSMC to honor its obligations under the separate mortgage

loan purchase agreement indemnification provisions shall in no event increase

the liability or obligations of Mortgage Loan Seller hereunder, and any

indemnified liabilities shall be payable on a pro rata basis by Seller (up to

the Maximum Percentage) and GSMC.

registration statement No. 333-107510 filed by the Purchaser on Form S-3,

including without limitation exhibits thereto and information incorporated

2003, as supplemented by the prospectus supplement dated December 10, 2003 (the

no-action letter dated May 20, 1994 issued by the Division of Corporation

Finance of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") to Kidder,

Peabody Acceptance Corporation I, Kidder, Peabody & Co. Incorporated, and Kidder

Structured Asset Corporation and the no-action letter dated May 27, 1994 issued

by the Division of Corporation Finance of the Commission to the Public

Securities Association (together, the "Kidder Letters"; and "ABS Term Sheets"

shall have the meaning assigned thereto in the no-action letter dated February

17, 1995 issued by the Division of Corporation Finance of the Commission to the

Public Securities Association (the "PSA Letter" and, together with the Kidder

Letters, the "No-Action Letters"). The mortgage loan information and related

Sheet Diskette is referred to herein
